Here it is again. Thanks in advance for your help:
{IF {MERGESEQ} = 1"¶
¶
" "" }{SET Donor1 {MERGEFIELD Company }}¶
{ IF {Donor1} <> {Donor2}"¶
¶
{MERGEFIELD Company}¶
¶
Dear {MERGEFIELD FirstName},¶
¶
----------------------------------- PageBreak
-----------------------------------------
Here are your guests:¶
{MERGEFIELD Guest1}¶
{MERGEFIELD Guest2}" "{MERGEFIELD Guest2}" }{SET Donor2 {MERGEFIELD
Company} }¶
----------------------------------- PageBreak
-----------------------------------------
Note: Even if I remove the last ¶ and page break the additional Guest2
names have a line break before them.

Isn't it because of the paragraph mark at the end of this line:
}{SET Donor1 {MERGEFIELD Company }}¶
?

Unfortunately, no. I've tried many combinations of moving and removing
line breaks and page breaks to no avail.
Have any other suggestions or methods I can try?
Thanks, though, Peter.

Unfortunately for the purposes of trying to find the problem, it works OK
here :-)
Would it help you if I e-mailed you the incredibly simple test version and
data I have to see if it works OK at your end?
Which version of Word are you using?

Do you have a Guest1 and a Guest2 mergefield.
Looking at the website from where you got the field construction, the guest
names should all be in the one field.
Company Guest (Field Names)
Company1 GuestA (Record 1)
Company1 GuestB (Record 2)
Company1 GuestC (Record 3)
Company2 GuestA (Record 4)
Company2 GuestB (Record 5)
Company3 GuestA (Record 6)
Company3 GuestB (Record 7)
Also your field construction departs significantly from that in the article.

I do have both Guest1 and Guest2 fields.
on our registration table we have a place to add one guest (Guest1).
Only a select few companies can have more than one guest. This guest is
added to a separate table (guests) and is linked by a registration_id.
in that respect it follows the model below:
record 1: Company1 GuestA
record 2: Company1 GuestB
record 3: Company2 GuestA
record 4: Company2 GuestB
record 5: Company2 GuestC
record 6: Company3 GuestA
record 6: Company3 GuestB
My merge doc is based on a query that creates a list like above. Each
company is to receive a cover page and a second page with a list of all
their guests. Shouldn't the code i'm using work?
is there another way? Thanks

Just out of interest, did you see my earlier post offering to send you the
.doc I have that seems to work OK?
I sometime wonder with the MS server...
